The rain during last Saturday's home football win over Rhode Island didn't dampen the spirits of the over 10,000 Tribe faithful in attendence, nor did it diminish the award that Richmond Tribe Club President Marc Elim recieved at a quarter break, recognizing his chapter as the Region of the Year for 2012-13.

The Richmond Chapter was recognized for its outstanding efforts in supporting the Tribe Club's mission of providing crucial funding for the William and Mary's Athletics Department, which goes towards providing a first-class experience for Tribe student-athletes.

The William and Mary Athletics Department recieves no state funding and annually raises more than $3,000,000 for operation, salaries and scholarships.
